Make 15 or 20 prints on a sheet of glass.
Do not worry about sterility, at all.

Scrape dried prints off glass with a razor blade.
Store in a small bottle.

In the early spring (after threat of frost has passed), in applicable areas (around hay & dung/manure piles, along pasture ditch lines, in/around horse/cow pastures, etc).

Use a females facial make/up brush.

Dip in spore bottle & paint applicable area's with spores & lightly cover with damp humus material, around each local & spot.

Use survey flagging to mark the spots.

Only other way is to scatter colonized wbs spawn, same as above.

There IS something in the "mushroom cultivation" section of shroomery regarding extracting psilocybin from mycelium:
http://www.shroomery.org/index.php/par/7998

Could this not potentially work with liquid mycelium?
Sorry, I know this isn't a "newbie answer" to a "newbie question"... I'm just hypothesizing.

Long time back, I made an 8 gallon LC in a 10 gallon glass carboy.

The solution was stirred with a large stir bar.
It was also aerated (ulpa filtered) with a small lab air pump.

It grew thick as I could get it.

Once it reached the point of matting on the surface.
I filtered out the myc, & dried it at 85F.

Then, split the results with 4 peep's for bio-assay.

One got a tiny buzz, the other 3 got nothing.

I repeated the experiment about 4 times, using differing nutrients.

Same results, with differing doses & people.

Last try, after it was thick, I exposed the carboy to 24 hour grow lights, for a week.

That seemed to increase the actives by about 10%.

And, I am talking about eating a coffee cup full.

All in all, testers never got even near the effect they would from a single gram of good dried cubes.

That was the end of my fiddling around with it.

This thread is awesome, but the same people that didn't bother to read the FAQ or RK's "Read this before posting" thread probably aren't going to take the time to read through this one. If the answer to their question doesn't magically appear right in front of them after a whole 30 seconds of searching, they'll post anyway. Then you'll also get the "Well, I know I read that you should do it like this, but I want to know what you guys think?" crowd.

That's an excellent idea, it's just that we already had this idea 3 years ago, and it resulted in the creation of the Shroomery Cultivation FAQ, where most of those questions are already answered.

You are more than welcome to propose and work out new ones of course and submit them in the FAQ Contributions forum.

Is anything wrong with this approach? Searching and finding information?

Screw searching for answers for a long time. I am also a newb, and sometimes time is of the essence. Also, sometime some of the "answerer questions" that are in here are either bogus, or incomplete. If there was a list of a bunch of FAQ's, some newbs would find the search feature obsolete, given that the FAQ is well done and thourough. I think you should also add a bunch of sterilization tips and hints, as I know a LOT of newbs fuck up this way. Thats just my 2 cents though...

dood, i dont understand whats so hard about being sterile. Wipe your counters down, clean them off with a disinfectent, spray an aersol disinfectant, and your done. If you want to become more sterile build a GB or a flow hood.

People make waaaaay too much out of being sterile, unless you're willing to risk contams on open air transfers and agar work, you dont need to be ultra sterile.

This Q+A is great, i havent found one bogus answer yet, and all the answers provide a short and sweet answer.

To get really high is to forget yourself. And to forget yourself is to see everything else. And to see everything else is to become an understanding molecule in evolution, a conscious tool of the universe. And I think every human being should be a conscious tool of the universe. . . .

No, I think you misunderstand. I know how to properly sterilize, but there are some poeple out there who don't really grasp the concept. Also, I know this Q & A is helping out people a load. I was just trying to add to it. I was trying to speak for the newbs who waste their time trying a million different ideas before even completing a grow, beginning to end. I think this FAQ is a GREAT idea and I'd rather see it get well written up, without all of the posts and be placed somewhere where it's easily accesable, not just thrown in the archive for people to have to search for it time and time again. Great idea though, Agar
